The FBI has joined the massive manhunt, which is now spanning three states, for a University of Connecticut student believed to be armed with several stolen guns whom police say is connected to two homicides, a kidnapping and a home invasion.

Peter Manfredonia, 23, last seen in Stroudsburg, Pa., is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached if spotted, authorities said. Police describe him as a 6 feet, 3 inches tall white man.

His second stolen getaway car – a 2016 Black Volkswagen Jetta – was located by New Jersey State Police at a rest stop near the Pennsylvania border on Sunday.

Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania state police, as well as local police departments in Derby and Ansonia, Conn., continue their “active and ongoing investigation.”

His kidnapping victim, the girlfriend of 23-year-old Nicholas Eisele, whom Manfredonia allegedly shot to death at his home on Roosevelt Drive in Derby, Conn., was also found with the vehicle.

Police said Eisele and Manfredonia appear to have been acquaintances.

The woman, whom authorities have not identified by name, did not appear to be harmed when troopers found her with the vehicle on Interstate 80 in Knowlton Township, Warren County.

Manfredonia, a college senior majoring in finance and mechanical engineering, kicked off his crime spree Friday. He is suspected of killing 62-year-old Ted DeMers, an artist and Marine veteran, and assaulting another man in Willington, Conn.

DeMers’ wife, Cynthia DeMers, told the Hartford Courant that the two men had been attacked after they found Manfredonia walking along a road and offered him a ride back to his motorcycle.

“It could have been anybody who offered him a ride,” she said. “It could have been any of my neighbors’ husbands. It just happened to be mine.”

DeMers was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The other man suffered severe wounds described as sword or machete wounds, Connecticut State Police said.

By Sunday morning, Connecticut Trooper Christine Jeltema said police responded to a home invasion in Willington, Conn. A man reported he had been held against his will by Manfredonia, who then left with food, a handgun, several long guns and the man’s truck, which was found abandoned at 6:45 a.m. near Osbornedale State Park in New Haven County, Conn.

“The truck found near Osbourndale State Park was believed to be operated by Manfredonia and taken in connection with the Willington crimes. Evidence suggests that the truck became lodged on an elevated embankment at which time he abandoned it,” the Derby Police Department said in a Facebook update on Monday.

Investigators went to the Derby home of an Manfredonia acquaintance and found the man dead. He was identified Sunday afternoon as 23-year-old Nicholas Eisele. Manfredonia allegedly kidnapped Eisele’s girlfriend, stealing the couple’s vehicle to make his escape.

Local surveillance showed Manfredonia walking directly toward the Roosevelt Drive homicide scene in the early Sunday morning hours between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., according to authorities. The Roosevelt Drive location is approximately 1 mile from where his first getaway truck was found abandoned in New Haven County.

Manfredonia is a 2015 graduate of Newtown High School. He is a senior at the University of Connecticut, but has not lived on the campus in Storrs, Conn., at the time of the crimes or during recent semesters, UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz told WVIT.

“We are not ruling out any possible motives and continue to investigate all leads,” the FBI said in a post. “When we are able to release additional information, we will do so.”

A gunman described as an “Arab male” and later identified by The Associated Press as Adam Alsahli of Corpus Christi was killed in a gunbattle with law enforcement at the station, located along the Gulf of Mexico, about 229 miles southwest of Houston.

Authorities say the suspect tried to speed his vehicle through a security gate at the naval facility around 6:15 a.m. Thursday but was stopped by a guard who managed to put up a barrier in time to block the driver’s access.

A female security officer was shot in the chest during an exchange of gunfire with the suspect, but she was wearing body armor and survived with only minor injuries, KRIS reported.

Other security personnel soon arrived and fatally shot the suspect, the AP reported.

Following that gunbattle, local police SWAT officers and FBI agents surrounded a home in Corpus Christi. A public records search by KRIS revealed the location to be Alsahli’s last known home address.

A similar lockdown occurred at NAS Corpus Christi last December after a suspect with a stolen firearm rammed a truck into a barricade there. The suspect later pleaded guilty to destruction of U.S. government property.

Thursday’s incident also follows a Dec. 6 shooting at NAS Pensacola in Florida that left three U.S. sailors dead and eight other people wounded. The suspect in that case, who had been in contact with al-Qaeda operatives, was killed by a sheriff’s deputy.

A Tennessee man charged with kidnapping an Uber driver at knifepoint — before she jumped from her car while it was speeding on a highway — was arrested Monday in Florida, police said.

Christopher C. Miller of Cleveland, Tenn., was arrested Monday afternoon in Jacksonville, police said. He was accused of abducting 26-year-old Uber driver Carolina Vargas and forcing her to drive from Tennessee to Georgia at knifepoint.

Police in Georgia said Vargas dropped off Miller at a hotel in Cleveland, Tenn., last Tuesday and made plans to pick him up Friday to take him to Nashville to retrieve his semi-truck that supposedly had broken down, Fox 17 reported.

On Friday, Miller told Vargas he knew a faster route to Nashville that avoided traffic. She told police she questioned him about the route when he drew a knife out of his bag and hit her in the ribs.

While driving on a highway in Cohutta, Ga. – about 40 minutes outside Chattanooga – she jumped from her car, sustaining several life-threatening injuries, according to a report from the Cohutta Police Department.

Vargas slammed her head into the pavement, she broke her three front teeth out and the back tire of the car ran over her legs, according to a GoFundMe account set up to cover her surgeries. The suspect got into the driver’s seat and left her unconscious in the middle of the highway, according to the page.

Doctors at Hamilton Medical Center in Dalton, Ga., later treated and released her, WKRN reported.

The kidnapping sparked a multi-state search for Miller before cops arrested him in Jacksonville. Police said Miller had multiple firearms in his possession.

Anna Primavere, 36, missing since last Friday from her hometown of Titusville, Fla., was found dead Wednesday in Lebanon, Tenn., authorities say. (Titusville Police Department)

The cause of Primavere’s death was not immediately known. But Titusville police said they believe a suspect named Courtney Dawn Gibson, 28, “likely killed Primavere in a violent manner between 7 p.m. and midnight Feb. 21, FOX 17 of Nashville reported.

Investigators say they believe Primavere’s body was then transported to Tennessee, the Tennessean of Nashville reported.

Police in Tennessee had obtained a warrant to search the car, owned by Courtney Dawn Gibson, who is now being sought by police after last being seen Sunday, the newspaper reported.

Gibson was hired to babysit a child of the landlord at the house where Primavere was renting a room, police said.

Doorbell video recorded Saturday showed Gibson driving away from the Florida home with a mattress on the roof of her vehicle, and Primavere’s family later reported that Primavere was missing from her room.

The mattress later fell off the vehicle and Gibson burned it by the side of the road, according to FOX 17.

Gibson was reached by police Sunday but refused to cooperate with investigators, then later disappeared, the Tennessean reported.

A manhunt is underway for a Colorado man wanted in connection with a spate of weekend shootings that left two people dead and a third wounded, investigators said.

The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Kyree Davon Howard-Walker, is believed to be involved in three separate shootings and two carjackings that happened across a 12-hour span on Saturday, Colorado Springs Police wrote on Twitter.

Howard-Walker remains at-large and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said.

The rampage began Saturday when police responded to a shooting at 10 a.m. and found a man with a gunshot wound, FOX21 Colorado Springs reported. The victim was rushed to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

After the shooting, Howard-Walker is believed to have carjacked a black Dodge Journey, police said. No injuries were reported in the carjacking, and the vehicle has yet to be recovered, the Denver Channel reported.
